I see a busy weekend in your future. Good plan.
Who doesn't like a wrench day? Going to be a hot one though

08.02.2024 - Part II: Session I while I had a couple hours to kill.
Weather in South Florida is brutal lately, 92 degrees and doing this all outdoors with no shade is not fun at all. But, we must press on. This is session I because I needed a break from the heat and session II will be later this evening.
Was able to knock out LM Engine Flush, let it idle for 15 mins and drain oil. Performed oil service and got to inspect underneath for the first time. I was expecting an oil caked undercarriage, but to my surprise that really wasn't the case at all. Noticed upgraded (?) control arms by Uro Parts ///M (?) - not sure if thats good or not, BUT with polyurethane bushings FTW! No leaks from power steering lines or pump. Not all good things though, noticed some NAPA auto parts bullshit coolant hoses...So, cooling system overhaul will be added to the laundry list. Can't stand cheap owners who cut corners on these cars.
Intake filter - Made in China...circa 2019: replaced with proper MANN filter
Cabin filter - Made in China...circa 2018: was absolutely filthy: replaced with proper OE filter
Cleaned up up the cabin filter tray as it was disgusting and probably never cleaned in 20 years.
Spark Plug Service: Coils have a red cap? Doesn't seem OEM from my previous experience but nevertheless they did look almost brand new. No name or label on them. No history on last time the plugs were changed, but my guess is not that long ago as they didn't look awful. Still replaced all 6.
She fired right up and sounded smoother already. Took her around the block, inspected for leaks and all systems go.
Session II will hopefully consist of: ZHP rear diffuser replacement, Windshield Cowl replacement, (4) OEM Wheel Roundel replacement, electric fan conversion. I may try to push hard to perform the headlight restoration as the forecast next few days doesn't look great.
